A. Dukhun. Presented by Colonel Sykes. 
" This species is found only in dense jungles. I have seen it in 
Goomsoor, in the Malabar Coast, and most numerously in the bamboo 
jungles of the Wynaud, though far from being common even there. 
It is always found solitary, perched on the lower branches of trees, 
and its flight is low and rapid. Feeds chiefly on stony fruit. I never 
heard it utter any note." — (Jerd., Madr. Journ. L. S. X. p. 254.)
